BRISTOL - — The company trying to coordinate a revival of the city's stagnant downtown will present a series of requests to zoning authorities at a hearing on Jan. 11.

Renaissance Downtowns has presented a conceptual plan for mid-rise apartment towers, street-level restaurants and stores, condos, offices and a hotel. The company says it needs numerous amendments to the city's zoning rules to make the project possible and to attract other developers and investors.

Renaissance will explain its request to the zoning commission at 7 p.m. at city hall.
